There can be nothing more comforting and satisfying than a bowl of any delicious soup. And, if it has all your favorite ingredients then there could be nothing better than that. Like today’s recipe - Roasted red pepper and tomato soup. I love tomatoes, bell peppers, and also dishes that have a smoky flavor. And, as this tomato red pepper soup has all these three things, I love it. It’s one of those simple, uncomplicated recipes making which you don’t need to spend hours in the kitchen. The only step that needs time is roasting the vegetables. But, that step also doesn’t require you to stand in the kitchen. You can do anything you wish while the vegetables get roasted. Once that step is complete, you just need to blend everything and cook for 4-5 minutes with stock. That’s how simple this recipe is.

Ingredients notes
Tomatoes: Any variety of red tomatoes is fine to be used in this soup, no matter how ripe. Just make sure to pick the red variety otherwise you won’t get the beautiful bright red color of this soup.Bell peppers: Red bell peppers are the best but you can use orange too. However, the color will slightly change if you use orange peppers.Herbs: I have used dried thyme and basil. You can use any herb of your choice. It’s better to use dried herbs in this. If you use a lot of fresh herbs and blend them with tomatoes and peppers, the color of the soup will turn slightly brown which won’t look very appealing.Vegetable stock: Any other stock can be used too. Water can also be used but stock makes the soup more flavorful.
Step 2: Allow the roasted vegetables to reach room temperature then put them in a blending jar. Blend until smooth. Step 3: Transfer the paste to a cooking pot and add vegetable stock. Step 4: Cook for 3-4 minutes. Check and adjust the seasoning. Your comforting creamy roasted red pepper and tomato soup is ready to be enjoyed! You can garnish it with croutons and fresh herbs of your choice. I also like to sprinkle some nigella seeds on this soup as they not only add flavor to the soup but also make it look more appealing. Instead of putting the whole soup in one large container, it’s better to put it in separate smaller jars so that you heat only the portion you want to consume.
